Holiday Decor: Gilded Pinecones



This is no big news, but Martha Stewart has some really classic and chic holiday decor ideas. I love the way these pinecones have the perfect Midas Touch and the bow that holds them together is just as stylish. Easy to make and elegant to look at:

1. In a ventilated area, line a surface with plastic and then paper. Secure a rod across an open cardboard box.
2. Insert a screw eye into base of each pinecone. Attach a 10-inch-long wire to each screw eye.
3. Stir gold paint. Wearing gloves, dip pinecones to coat; hang on rod in box. Let dry (at least 1 day).
4. Remove wire; thread with a thick silk ribbon
